I was 12 in 1982. My parents finally got cable. They went away and left me alone for the weekend. There was a channel called WHT or something (they had a black cat as their symbol). They showed 3 of her flicks in a row. I killed more (potential) children then Pol Pot.

Ah yes, Sylvia Kristel..I'm sure plenty of other guys my age rubbed one out to her at least once. Showtime "After Hours" showed her movies quite frequently. I doubt today's studs would find those movies appealing, however..the fact that she had an actual bush and no tattoos would scare their fragile little selves away, I'm certain.

puckrock2000:1981′s Private Lessons, a film that itself was controversial for its time given its sexual themes.

Adult woman seduces underage boy - that film would never get greenlit today.

/"Pretty Baby" was released only 3 years earlier//and they say we've become less sexually repressed in recent years

There was another one called "My Tutor" which had almost the exact same plot line. You are correct, though..in today's uptight times, those films never would have even made it to the consideration stage.

I too fapped to her as a young lad. In fact, I think that Emmanuelle was one of the first naughty movies I ever watched as a young teen. I didn't have a TV in my own room at the time so I had to stay up late and then sneak downstairs and watch it with the sound muted. I seem to remember that the build up before the first naughty part felt like it took forever. Good times.

That's what a scrambled premium channel used to look like in the days before digital boxes, meaning if your cable company offered a naughty channel, you could tune your TV to that channel and see the scrambled version, which had skewed video (as seen in this pic) and full sound. So, you could hear the action, and catch glimpses of the general goings-on if you tilted your head and squinted.

In the '80s, the place to find Ms. Kristel's movies, and other softcore erotica, was on pay-cable channels such as HBO, Showtime, and especially Cinemax. Of course, not everyone's parents would spring for these channels. If they didn't, this is what you saw. Sometimes you could make out a nipple or an ass.

my parents lived in bangkok from 1962-1968. while there, they heard this scandalous rumor about the wife of a french diplomat who was cavorting around with other men. the rumor started when she or one of her lovers had erotic photos developed at the local photomat. of course, the horny young lads who worked there made plenty of copies and distributed them to their friends. from what i understand, this was the origin of the emmanuelle story.

Back in the day, adult cable channels were scrambled, but often the audio was there. Every few seconds, you might see a slightly-less-scrambled bit of video; a breast, a thrusting torso, etc. Yes, we would fap to scrambled porno.

And if you messed around with the dial on your cable box just right and found that "sweet spot" between the channel clicks, every once in a while God would reward you with a glimpse of grainy, green titties in action.

I was in the end-era of that age. I was born in 83. By the time I was a teenager cable companies were still using those scramblers. By the time I ended high school in 2002, I dont think cable companies used it anymore (at least in my state)

Semi threadjack: Did any of you Farkers ever run across a late night European movie called "Run, Rabbit, Run"? Like so many late night movies from Europe, it was about a beautiful young girl's sexual awakening, and it used to be played in rotation with the Emmanuelle films. It contained enough envigorating scenes that I would plan an entire evening around staying up until 3 am to watch it... again.

Anyway, the reason I ask is that I'm looking to buy a copy of it for a research project, and I'm having trouble locating it anywhere.

I had a TV that had a fine tuning adjustment for each channel that you could tweak just right and the premium channels would be visible most of the time, not always, and usually in black and white and substandard sound, but it was better than nothing.

/don't judge me

I remember it and another one called "She's 19 And Ready", which was also a dubbed European flick that seemed to pop up at least three times a month in the middle of the night. IIRC, the 19 year old in question never did get banged in the film but the entire rest of the cast did.

I found that changing the channel on my TV from 3 to 4 stabilized the picture... So you ended up with the same black and white picture but with no sound.

In a time before the internets it was the greatest discovery of my teenage life.

Found it under its original title:

/saw the musical on Broadway//Well you made a long journey from Milan to Minsk, Rochelle Rochelle.You never stopped hoping. now you're in the Pinsk, Rochelle Rochelle.When the nay sayers nay you picked up your pace.You said nothing's going to stop me so get out of my face.I'm having adventures all over the place,Rochelle ROCHELLE!"

Back in the day, we didn't have this fancy cable telivision with 43 channels of HBO, Cinemax, and AMC, we had crapass stuff like ONTV.This consisted of a shoebox sized settop box with a single knob. You would tune (analog, mind you) to channel three or four, depending on your service, and - oops, unplug the Telstar Ranger because there was only one input on your television, and hook up your "cable" and stand at the TV and turn it's channels until you saw something you liked. If you changed your mind about the show you would have to call your kids over to change the channel again. There were subscriptions available for late night viewing, and if you didn't subscribe, it came in scrambled. We're not talking about 256 bit encryption now, we're talking they would run the picture 50% to the right and make the lines wiggly. This is what we learned how to masturbate to. This is why we're a mess.
